I think they might have jumped the gun a bit as the site is no longer showing the ad, it's back to the LS 8-speed ad. Or maybe the ads rotate. But the link to the flash ad still works, at least for me.
I like the blue, and the tagline "It will change the way you think about Lexus"...shall we call it Electric Blue? Lightspeed Blue?

DAMN! Nice find enigma888!! 
Thats a pretty tough looking front end. I dont know if its the angle this pic is taken, but the hood looks to have a wierd bulge towards the front.
Lovin that front air damn though.

No problem, I'm glad to have found it in time before they pulled the ad. Agree, it looks like the hood is different, probably 'bulging' due to the V8 underneath!

Carmakers are always warning publications not to break embargoes, but what happens when the company breaks its own embargo? This time Lexus revealed low-quality images of the upcoming IS-F in an online ad, giving us the first glimpse of its V8-engined M3 killer. Compared to the standard IS, the IS-F has an aggressive bodykit all-round, including massive vents in the front, and sideskirts.
The ad confirms that the IS-F will have more than 400hp (we’re expecting it to be in the region of 420hp), that it’ll have a 5.0L V8, and will hit 0-62mph in under 5 seconds. We can’t wait till it’s officially revealed on Sunday.

I think the front shot may be real enough, but the side shots from the slides are definitely photoshopped. The front wheel is larger than the back one in the side shots. Even the front shot seems a little "off". But we will see the real IS-F in a few days

I wonder if the other sites picking this up got the info from CL??? Anyhow, I suspect Auto___ may have been responsible for the advance ad leak. Or maybe it's intentional, who knows...
It is supposed to be revealed on Monday, January 8.

My philosophy is, if you can find it, post it. 
If the company doesn't like it that's too bad.
